Have Fun！

Good evening, the State of New York isbracing for an expected marriage boom, following last night’s historic vote by law-makers to legalize same sex marriage here. By this time next month, gay couples will be free to wed in New York, something they’re unable legally to do with all but five other states in the nation’s capital. The bill’s narrow passage --- by just 4 votes --- reflected the emotional and contentious national debate that still rages over same sex marriage. NBC’s Peter Alexander is in Manhattan’s Grandidge Village tonight with reaction. Peter.

Lestor, good evening to you. This is where the gay rights movement was born right outside the Stone Wall Inn. That was 1969. It was the home of violent demonstrations. Today, it’s simply a place of euphoria as New York becomes the latest and largest state to give gay and lesbian couples the right to wed.

In the streets of Manhattan’s Grandidge Village last night, celebrations and overflowing pride.

Following years’ of contentious debate, the same sex marriage bill passed New York State’s Republican-led Senate by a slim margin late Friday. (这里pass用法比较特殊)

Ayes 33; Nays 29.

New York joins five other states and the District of Columbia allowing same sex marriage. It’s specifically banned in 41 states. Today, New York’s vote was celebrated across the Atlantic from Paris to Berlin. Recent polls suggest Americans are still divided over same sex marriage, but support has been steadily increasing, forcing some Republicans to reconsider long-held positions. And the celebrations here in New York City are expected to last well through the weekend, Lestor. Tomorrow coincidentally, is the annual gay pride parade.

Peter, it wasn’t talked about during the debate, but I understand, there’s an economic payoff to all this.

Yeah, that’s exactly right. New York City is expecting a surge of gay couples to come to this state to wed, and in fact, a recent survey estimated roughly 184 million dollars would come in over the next three years if this law was passed as it’s been. Also, New York City has come to an agreement that there will be more State Judges available to perform. those same sex marriages.
